  Hello,
  I would like to understand the way I can puzzle all the things in one blog. I’m doing it the first time so don’t judge me.
  I have bought the domain name – wildinparis.com at godaddy,
  then I have a theme from themeforest that I can apply as a plugin.
  And I have a french hosting from OHV.
  The things is how I should start, coz for installing wordpress should I do the mapping of domain ? How I put it to work all together with the hosting.
  Please, I would really appreciate some simple instruction for it, as I want to know by myself the way it works.

  BR,
  Nataly Darashkevich

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello Nataly,
  When I checked your site, the hosting had been changed to WordPress.com instead of a OHV. If that is your new plan, then you can start adding content to your site. You may wish to contact ThemeForest about a refund since you won’t be able to use one of their themes with WordPress.com hosting.

  If you’d still rather use OHV hosting, then revisit GoDaddy and change the name servers for your domain to the ones provided by OHV.

  For assistance setting up WordPress software on OHV, contact their support team or post your question at the WordPress.org forum: https://wordpress.org/support/

  Also, if you use OHV, you can cancel the domain mapping at WordPress.com since you wouldn’t be using that upgrade.
